We please people to make them happy, to fit in, or to cover our insecurities. You must stop it. Love yourself the way you are. You are good enough. Don’t crave for love, give yourself love. Because you can’t make people like you. If they don’t like you, there is nothing you can do about it. Forget about their love. Your love for yourself is enough to make you happy for the rest of your life.

No one is perfect. No one is better than you.And you are not better than anyone. That is good enough. Don’t give up your values because you want people to like you. Don’t do it. According to Ryan Holiday, “We can seek progress without being perfectionists and we can be pragmatic without being unprincipled.” In other words, don’t give up your values just because you want to make people happy.

The more you please people, the more you harm yourself. You will never be happy with yourself. To stop people from manipulating you, you must believe in yourself. You must never be afraid to say NO to them. If you want to live your best life, you MUST be in charge of your life. The choice is yours.

Helping Others In Our Daily Lives

When you meet people, see them as human beings. Treat them as they want to be treated. You are responsible for making them happy. Make them see life in themselves. Don’t judge them. Help them feel good about themselves. Before you help other people, you must first help yourself. It is your duty to be there for others. But you cannot be there for others if you are not there for yourself. People need love. People need happiness. They just want someone to see them for who they really are. You can do that for them. But if you cannot make people happy, don’t make them unhappy. If you cannot love them unconditionally, don’t make them feel bad about themselves. If you can’t help people, stay away from harming them. Find ways to make them live their best lives.

I am helping myself to help other people.

Quote for the soul:

“It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.”Dalai Lama
